Ruud Van Nistelrooy Retires From Football by mukina2: 2:20pm On May 14, 2012
Former Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy, 35, has announced his retirement from football.

The Dutchman had been playing with Spanish side Malaga but endured a difficult season, scoring only five times in 35 games.

His contract had been coming to an end and he made his last appearance in the Andalucian outfit's 1-0 win over Gijon.

"I've played my last match in my professional career," he said upon quitting the sport.

"I wanted to play in the Champions League, but it is the moment to leave.

"I have arrived at my physical limit and I can't play at the maximum level. I couldn't have had a better send-off than this.

"I feel happy that I am the one taking this decision. I would like to thank Malaga, the technical and medical staff for an unforgettable year.

"I am proud to have won collective and individual titles, but my greatest satisfaction was to be able to work day after day, year after year."
